âStop your nonsense! You have to deliver 100 million dollars to me personally by tonight, or the entire Mercity will see your photo. Iâll be waiting for you tonightâ
With that, Larry hung up the Celine gripped phone tightly. Adamâs voice rang from behind her. âWere you on the phone with your adoptive father?â
Celine turned around to see Adam returning to his room. His gaze was fixated on the box in her hands.
His lanky figure cast a shadow before her as he said, âGrandma said your adoptive father you a photo. What photo is that?â Celine looked at him and wondered if she could tell him about her adoptive father. What would his reaction be if she told him about it?
Celine replied, âThis photo is-â
Her phone rang before she could finish what she wanted t to say. This time, it was Nathan who was calling Celine answered the call, and Nathan said excitedly, âCome out quickly, Celine! I have a gift prepared for you.â
She frowned. âMr.Lynch, Iâm not available right nowâ¦
âIâm right outside Alvarez Residence. If you donât come out, Iâll come in Celine compromised her stance immediately. âDonât come in. Iâll come out.â
Adam looked at Coline and asked, âWas that Nathan?**
Celine nodded, âYes. Iâll head out for a bit. Iâll tell you about the photo later when Iâm backâ

She thought Adam bought that for her as a birthday gift. She was really happy, so She only found out later that he bought that bag for Carly when she saw Carly carrying it to one of her high teas with the other socialites.
I turned out that she was delusional about an affection that never existed.
It wasnât that she liked bags. She thought that was his gift to , and that was why she liked it. He had never given her any gifts.
She didnât expect Adam to that she liked Chanel bags because of this. How ironic.
Nathan didnât notice that something was awry as he continued, âI went to Adamâs office today to ask him how can pursue you. He told me you like , so got someone to buy it. Tell Celine, what do you like?â

, I donât like anything. If I wanted these things, could have a lot of them Idonât need all of you to give me gifts like these. Stop wasting Then, Celine turned and lett.
When Celine got back into her room, she saw Adam standing on the balcony, watching them from above. He turned around when he heard Celine enter and asked. âYou didnât like the bag Nathan gave you?
